On the 2d instant a very extraordinary phenomenon was observed here:--A cloud descended upon the surface of the Elbe, and after appearing to confound itself with the river, rose, taking up with it a great quantity of water. At a little distance another cloud descended, and plunged ten or twelve times into the river, the bed whereof became clearly discernible. In a few minutes, these clouds discharged the water they had taken up into the river, and then uniting, they took a direction over this city in a kind of whirlwind, whereby the roofs of several buildings were injured.
